All four of my window regulators have failed within a period of 2 months, I have replaced 3 of the four, the left rear door still has not been replaced do to the cost of parts for this car, in adition, I have had to replace the front calipers, brake pads and rotors on this vehicle 2 times within a period of 1 year, just before the last time I replaced them, my rear calipers went out, they will engage, but will stay locked, only releasing after I drive for about 20 feet or so, I have also experienced problems with the security system activating itself and not allowing me to start the car for at least 10 minutes ( the time it takes the system to recycle itself). In adddition, my door pannels coverings are all coming separated accross the top of of them, again do to the cost, I have failed to replace them. Unfortunatly this happened before I knew that so many people where having problems with the Oldsmobile Alero, so I did not retain the old parts.

I bought the car 1 year used, and the brakes had just been replaced by the dealer. Not even a few months later the brakes started to pulsate and the steering wheel would shake upon braking. I replaced the rotors and brake pads with the best on the market, thinking it would last a long time. A few months later the same problem happened again. They should do a recall on the brakes. Also the drivers side window motor broke and was replaced. The hazard switch was replaced, the turn signals fixed due to an electrical problem, the gear shifter knob was replaced because it fell off for no reason. The antilock brakes/service vehicle soon lights come on at random times when there is no problem at all. The transmission is leaking as well. I see that many many people with this car have the same problems and Oldsmobile should do a recall on all these things since they are not just random occurrences.
